Concerns with driving for individuals with Parkinson‘s Disease
Gillian Bethune
Parkinson‘s Disease (PD) is a debilitating condition that affects motor as well as cognitive functioning. Recently, driving safety in individuals with PD has become a concern. Some individuals with PD suffer from memory problems, sleep disturbances, and medication side effects that can influence driving ability. In addition to the symptoms of the disease itself, recent evidence suggests that some medications that treat PD may increase the risk of motor vehicle crashes (MVA). This paper discusses the recent evidence concerning driving safety among PD individuals and provides a patient handout template on this topic.
